Agenda Day 1 - October 27

12:00 PM The 4th Horizon - Securing Funding To Build And Mature A Data Science Practice Through Experimental, Resource-Light Approaches That De-Risk The Drive To AI

As Shaheen decided to build out data science and machine learning capability at MinterEllison, he noticed how many organisations struggle with operationalising this capability and the challenges they face with retaining highly skilled data scientists and analysts who end up disengaged when the organisation’s data capabilities are unreliable and the adoption of data-led thinking in the business is low. 


In this talk, Shaheen will share from his 4-Horizon Roadmap, how leaders should take a sustainable approach towards data science that gives them bang for their buck. 


· Getting the 3 Horizons in order - Creating a strong education, governance and cloud foundation across the enterprise to improve speed, accuracy and reliability of data assets leveraged across 2000 staff for decision making 

· 4th Horizon -Taking an experimental, resource-light approach to put up “runs on the board” that drive business funding around data science 

· The role of auto-AL/ML tools in driving early and easy wins for data science 

· How to create a business-led push up the maturity curve for analytics rather than an IT/analytics team push
